"Singapore Math: Place Value, Computation & Number Sense" is a six-part presentation on CD-ROM that can be used by individual teachers or an entire school. The author takes primary to upper elementary grade teachers through place value skills with each of the computational operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. She gives…

The present study focuses on math and related skills among 32 girls with fragile X (n = 14) or Turner (n = 18) syndrome during late elementary school. Performance in each syndrome group was assessed relative to Full Scale IQ-matched comparison groups of girls from the general population (n = 32 and n = 89 for fragile X syndrome and Turner…

Background: The study was conducted in an attempt to further our understanding of how working memory contributes to written arithmetical skills in children. Aim: The aim was to pinpoint the contribution of different central executive functions and to examine the contribution of the two subcomponents of children's written arithmetical skills.…

How can teachers learn what they need to know? Every community of educators, regardless of field or specialization, can benefit from being well informed about current research findings. A considerable amount of mathematics education research exists to inform teachers and administrators about teaching and learning mathematics. Research can show…

No significant correlations were found between arithmetic computational ability and reading ability for students with normal intelligence who have difficulty in reading. (RB)

There is offered in this book a year's work in numbers for those boys and girls who know one to ten thoroughly. The book is designed for the children themselves. The practical use of this text in various schools for several years gives evidence by its success that as soon as children can read they should have arithmetics in their hands. [Cover…

This textbook provides the foundation for a course in mathematics covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry, conic sections, and arithmetic of infinites. An appendix on practical gauging is included, as well as a supplement containing the history of logarithms. [This edition was corrected and improved by Samuel Clark.]
